After officially being diagnosed the big question is:"What will I do about it?" Well, for one I will stop letting depression jerk me around. Everybody says I am strong. Let's see it. I have been on a few walks lately. I have also told myself when I felt like crying that this wasn't me. It didn't always stop me from crying, but it helped me get over it faster and it also helped me to keep going.
It is what it is, but it doesn't have to stay this way. I wonder if taking care of oneself is as easy a task as the others make it sound.
I am tired. I am so tired I am cross eyed. the baby was fussy, Luke threw up all over the place, and yes when the poor little soul drenched in vomit had to throw up again the moment I got him to the bathroom I let him sit there and ran for cover. 3 am is not a good time to be puke on. No time ever is. James has been feeling under the weather all week. I did most of the taxi rides for the kids, I went shopping today, I cooked today and prepped the slow cooker meal for tomorrow, I could go on and on with what last week did to wear me out but I will stop boring you to death and go to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.
Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!

CONFESSION TIME
I'm pregnant. Yup. I am. I know. Totally crazy. I know what you are thinking. She is hoarding kids! I guess I am. Trust me, this one was defintiely still missing from my collection. To be honest with you, I won't be pregnant much longer. That's how far along I am. Why did I not tell you sooner? Because it always felt like I'd be making excuses. I failed the 14 week challenge because I am pregnant. I am not blogging because I am pregnant and too tired. I can't deal with my emotions during decluttering because I am pregnant.
At the moment I look and feel like a beached whale and I am past excuses. I am looking for baby clothes and can't find them. They weren't in the 0-3 months box. so much for having the kid's clothes neatly organized. So instead of making one big mess, ripping everything out, I simply got myself a plastic bag and took out all the things that I obviosuly didn't want anymore. Like all the bed linen I have labeled "to go". The stuff is actually going. I might still not have found the baby clothes, but I found clothes that fit the other kids and some things to go.
The attic seems so full. It is suffocating me. I really want to start that 14 week challenge over. 14 weeks in the attic. ARGH! And then the rest of the house. Well. It won't happen in the near future. I do feel that I have a steady trickle of things going out, so that is comforting.
Come January I should be back to normal with a semi obtainable schedule. And don't we all love January? Perfect for new goals and brand new starts. Well. Let's get through August first!
